Seeing that Shi Shipiao also supported the fight, Yinxiang and his men couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. When the eastern expedition to Japan, the prince Yinzhen explained clearly that he would rather return without success than lose his troops and generals. If Shi Shipiao insisted on returning without success and brought out Yinzhen to suppress the few people, they really wouldn't dare to persist. {http:

Since everyone agreed to fight, there was nothing to discuss. Yinxiang said, "When he left the capital, the prince deliberately reminded that the people of Japan have always been insidious and cunning, and are good at sneak attacks, so we should take strict precautions. Now we are in the port of Japan, and there are millions of people in Edo, so we must be careful in everything."

"Thirteenth Master said very much." Shi Shipiao took over the conversation and said, "If we go deep into the enemy's territory, a little negligence will lead to a major disaster. Therefore, we must be careful everywhere. Water and land camps must be strictly regulated and paid attention to the food and drink in the fresh water.

Our navy's artillery is powerful and its muskets are not small. When fighting in the daytime, Japan has no choice but to do anything to us. Therefore, we must strictly guard against night attacks. Today is the first day of our landing. We must be more careful of night attacks or harassment by the Japanese."

"I have not given my destiny." Several people responded in unison.

When he left the cabin, Lin Wei smiled and came to Fu Anding's side, saying, "Is there such great power to use artillery in a concentrated manner? No ten thousand people can rely on?"

"Haha, didn't I say it? This is the dean's theory." Fu Anding said with a chuckling.

"You kid aren't taking things out of context?" Lin Wei said suspiciously.

"What does it mean to take things out of context?" Fu Anding laughed and said, "We are just saying the first half."

"Oh, there is another half sentence?" Lin Wei asked softly.

"That's certain." Fu Anding walked forward and said as he walked: "Theoretically, even if it was calculated at a distance of one thousand yards, it was enough for us to install artillery and shell the guns for eight to twelve times, so how could we still see living people? But in fact, after at most three the artillery bombardment, the enemy formation would disperse. Therefore, the dean said that war cannot be separated from theory, but the theory must not be applied to the battlefield."

Lin Wei nodded. People are alive, and the battlefield situation is ever-changing. Where can we apply the theory? After pondering for a moment, he said: "When the Japanese have seen the power of our artillery during the day, I guess they are very likely to attack at night, and there are many people on the other side. They cannot be without the support of artillery, and artillery is not easy to aim at at night.

You are in charge of artillery. You must first fix the artillery position, divide the defense area into several blocks in advance, and mark the various artillery parameters of each block to prevent artillery from being unable to play a role at night. *1*1*”

When he heard this, Fu Anding smiled and said, "Director taught you this experience? I was also told by the dean."

Edo Matincho, the residence of the Kanto Miguchi family of the Oxaku family.

The Miguchi family of the Niu Kura family is just a vassal lord of 10,000 s. It is the smallest vassal lord among the Japanese vassals. It is naturally the most remote location in Edo, because it is close to Edo Port. Mabe Yoshiya sets the temporary command center here.

As the sun sets, Mabu Quanfang stands quietly under the window and stares at the red sun slowly falling, but his heart is filled with emotions. Because of the two Yuan and Mongolian conquests Japan, they have no fondness for the Qing Dynasty of the same Mahjong nation. Since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, the shogunate has resisted contact with the Qing Dynasty from the bottom of their hearts.

However, it was not expected that the Qing Navy had been so powerful in just a few years, and the sea ships were getting bigger and bigger, and they directly sent troops to attack Edo. Even if they could be defeated this time, next time they attacked a large-scale attack, and dispatched hundreds of thousands of troops like the Mongols, how could Edo resist?

It has been more than a hundred years since then. Is Japan going to be in chaos again? The Mabu Quanfang was tightly locked. Although there were few Dutch merchant ships in recent years, they have not stopped every year and have not received any reports of major improvements in their artillery. It seems that the artillery of the Qing Navy has only been improved recently, and is far better than that of the Western countries.

This time, we will seize several artillery pieces of Qing navy, and study them carefully. This is more important than defeating the Qing navy. The shogunate was not as powerful as the Qing state and had no equal weapons. If it continues for a long time, it will inevitably be destroyed by the Qing people.

"Sir Shiraishi is here." The Guard's report interrupted the thoughts of Mabe Quanfang. He hesitated slightly before turning around and saying, "Please." He said that, he went out to greet him.

After the two of them met at the door, they entered the house and sat cross-legged. Kanmei of Akai said, "The Lord is already recruiting samurai and recruiting the vassal lords and retainers of various vassal lords to use seals on the orders of the vassal lords."

"I'm sorry, Shiraishi." Mabu Quanfang bowed and thanked.

Kanmi Akai bowed slightly and said, "Your Excellency, the Qing Navy has been landing in Edo Port for half a day. Have you ever condemned the envoys to ask why they came?"

When Mabe Quanfang was stunned when he heard this, he thought about how to defeat the Qing Navy. He had the intention to ask the reason. He had all come to Edo, and he still needed to ask the reason?

Seeing that Mabe Quanfang was silent, Kanmi Akai knew that he had not sent anyone to him, so he pondered: "Although the Qing Dynasty started soon, he governed the country with Confucianism. Everything is about one's status. It is better to be polite first and then military."

Psychological! Mabu Quanfang cursed secretly before saying, "The Qing Navy has destroyed the 4,000 Japanese navy. Is it necessary to be polite first and then soldiers?"

"I have read the naval battle report." Kanmi Akai said in a deep voice: "There are only 30 warships coming to the Qing Dynasty this time, and the troops are only 20,000. If we come again 100,000 and 80,000 next time, how can we resist?"

"First deal with the crisis in front of you." Mabu Quanfang said in a deep voice, but he thought in his mind that if he could imitate the Qing artillery and deploy defense at the Yokosuka Fort, the Qing navy would not be able to enter at all.

Regarding military affairs, Kanmi Akai really didn't want to interrupt. Seeing that Mabu Quanfang was unmoved, he stopped talking and stood up to say goodbye.

Just after seeing Shiraishi off, Jushi Chongzhi, the two of the two Maibu Quanyan followed and sat down. Jushi Chongzhi said in a deep voice: "All the cavalry in Edo have been summoned, totaling 15,000, and the vassal lords and samurai soldiers of each vassal vassal lord have been 48,000, all of which have gathered in the south. In addition, at night, 1,200 people have been summoned by the water at night, and 70 fire ships have been prepared in the upper reaches of the Suzukawa River."

"Okay." Mabe Quanfang pondered for a moment and said, "Qunyan, you will lead 20,000 people to fight the camp in three batches at night. I will also condemn Inoue Hachiro, lead 2,000 cavalry to watch from behind. Master Chongzhi, you are responsible for the night attack on the water. The sound of cannons sounded, and you will start again."

Jiu Shizhongzhi looked up at Mabu Quanfang and said, "The Qing Navy is very strict in its defense, and the camp will definitely be easy to defend and difficult to attack. If it will not be able to attack tonight, there will be no chance in the future. Is this force too little?"

"Edo Port is surrounded by water on three sides. If there are too many troops, it cannot be used. If you can't break through the enemy camp in one go, it will become a tactic of adding fuel. Therefore, there is no need for too many troops." Mabu Quanfang explained slowly.

How could I not know the terrain of Edo Port? Jungzhi couldn't help but secretly complain that this was a tough battle. Twenty thousand ronin who had not been trained in the battle formation went to attack at night, just to die. If the battle was not good, it would be a defeat immediately. Even if we wanted to preserve the strength of the General's Mansion, we would not be able to lose a penny.

After pondering for a moment, the talented man from Ao Shizhong said sincerely: "This battle is related to the survival of Edo. I hope you will send more troops."

Mabu Quanfang smiled slightly and said, "It is precisely because of this battle that I arranged this way. The attack time is set at Pingdan (3:00 to 5:00 in the morning)."

Pingdan? Jiushi Chongzhi couldn't help but be stunned, and then suddenly realized that the Mabu Quanfang wanted to connect the night attack with the frontal attack. The 20,000 newly recruited warriors were just cannon fodder in the early stage.

Mamabu Quanfang continued: "After the attack on the Pacific Day and three waves of attacks, it was dim. Under the attack of the water ghosts and fire ships, the Qing naval warships would be in chaos and could not take care of themselves and could not use artillery to support the shore. At that time, I will lead all the cavalry, the vassal lords and samurai, and the samurai teams to attack with all their strength and annihilate the landing enemy troops in one fell swoop. Master believes that this method is feasible?"

Jiu Shizhongzhi nodded slightly. The Qing Navy was not large in number. As long as they could completely wipe out the landing part, they would be unable to fight again and were forced to withdraw their troops. Moreover, the opportunity was also good. Not only did the Qing Navy warships not withdraw from support, but the Qing Army, which had been attacked three times, was also exhausted. In this case, a full-strength attack would inevitably be unstoppable.

Three o'clock in the morning.

In Edo Port, outside the Marine Navy Camp, there were more than ten bonfires burning in front of the camp at 150 yards. The nearby pictures were clear. More than ten Ryukyu soldiers and more than ten people chatted around the bonfire. They all changed their guards only at midnight.

The Ryukyu soldiers never dreamed that they would have the opportunity to invade Edo, Japan. They were bullied by the Japanese for nearly a hundred years and were as deep as the sea of ​​hatred for the Japanese. They slept for most of the night. They were all sleepless at this time. They were excited to talk about the warships and artillery of the Qing Navy, and the war situation tomorrow, fantasizing about the beauty of defeating the Japanese soldiers.

On the inside of the bonfire, there were two teams of Ryukyu soldiers patrolling each other. While walking back and forth, such strict defense made Ryukyu soldiers feel a sense of security. In this case, there was no possibility that the Japanese would attack sneakily, unless it was a hard attack, but did they dare to attack? After seeing the powerful artillery power of the Qing Navy, no one thought that the Japanese would die in vain.

However, the Japanese came, and a dense rain of arrows flew out of the darkness. The sound of sharp arrows breaking through the air alarmed the Ryukyu soldiers who were always alert. However, when they realized that the heavy rain-like arrows had already arrived. Many soldiers had just stood up and were shot by several arrows.

The copper whistle that called the police immediately cut through the quiet night sky. All the undead Ryukyu soldiers retreated and lit the pile of wood behind them. The piles of firewood were poured over oil, and they were just a little while. In just a moment, countless piles of firewood were lit, and the raging fire made the outside of the camp red.
